The Long-Necked Sheep Emily Simkins

Being the odd llama out is never easy!
When Llama finds that his new home is a pasture full of proud, bath-taking sheep, he feels a little out of place. The "long-necked sheep" does all he can to try to fit in by becoming like his new pasture-mates. But when trouble comes to the Waukaroo Creek, Llama realizes that the only solution is to be exactly who he was created to be. Join Llama as he splishes and splashes his way into your heart. You and your child will enjoy playful rhymes and lively watercolor illustrations as these frolicking friends learn a lesson about the importance of being yourself.
